"Chifeng City!"

The expressions of the two changed suddenly, and they quickly took the secret letter and read it together. Chen Yue turned around and looked at the map, his eyes constantly scanning.

Chifeng City was captured by the Yan army. This was a result that Chen Yue could not have imagined even if he broke his head. Liang Jun's attention was not here from the beginning to the end.

"Stab it!"

Chu Yucheng also jumped up all of a sudden, reacting exactly the same as Chen Yue, saying in shock:

"How is it possible, how is it possible for the Yan army to attack Chifeng City from the direction of Jizhou!

Where are the Chang family's border troops? Where are Wentiansi's spies? Why is there no early warning news at all!"

Chu Yucheng, who has always been calm, is also a little manic. If this secret letter had not been sent by the crossbowman, she would definitely have thought it was false information.

Chenyue said without looking back:

"Xin Ji gave his conjecture that there should be a big problem with the Chang family, which caused the Yan army to enter the country and march straight into Chifeng City.

As long as Yan Jun's speed is fast enough, Wentiansi's spies will not have time to react."

Zhuge frowned in confusion:

"The Chang family still has nearly 100,000 troops stationed there, and Chang Jingan is personally in charge. How could Pinghan Road be so quietly occupied by the Yan army?

It’s really unbelievable!”

"In any case, Pinghan Road has indeed fallen into the hands of the Yan army."

Chu Yucheng collected the military report and said with an angry face:

"This bastard Zhou Weiran is worse than a pig or a dog. Just betray the people, betray the country, and collude with the Yan people.

They actually led the Yan people to invade the border and massacre our Liaodong people. What's wrong with those unarmed people!

This guy really does whatever it takes to get revenge!

Son of a bitch!"

In the secret letter, Xin Ji mentioned the massacre of Chifeng City by the Yan army. Behind the two lines of small words, countless families were destroyed and their families were wiped out. The miserable scene made people shudder just thinking about it.

Murderous aura flashed in Chen Yue's eyes: "Sooner or later, we must avenge this!"

Zhuge looked aside confusedly and continued:

"Relying on He Mu Dawu's secret information and the desperate battle of the Ben Lei Cavalry soldiers, we barely managed to recapture Chifeng City.

But the poor monk believes that the crisis in Liaodong has just begun.

Judging from the description in the letter, Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi were obviously leading a light cavalry army to attack Chifeng City, and reinforcements from the Yan Army would continue to arrive at the front line.

As long as Pinghan Road falls into the hands of the Yan people, the Yan army will take the initiative.

Muyun Canglan will even mobilize troops from the grassland to enter Pinghan Road. You must know that attacking the Central Plains is not just our Beiliang way.

This grassland hero is so powerful, he personally conquered Beiliang and deceived all of us!"

Chu Yucheng's eyes showed worry:

"But there are not many troops stationed in Shuntan and Shuntan. The elites from the two places either follow the army to fight south, or go to Luoyun City to participate in the city defense battle. Now the two states are overwhelmed and have drawn out 30,000 to 40,000 new soldiers.

Except for the immobile troops at Luoyun City and Yunjin Defense Line on the front line, the remaining elite troops in Liaodong are Li Siye's Mo Dao Army, Xie Xiaolei's Ben Lei Cavalry, and Sheng Nankui stationed at Jianmen Pass, who has more than 10,000 elite infantry.

If you want to start a war with the Yan army in Luoyun City and Chifeng City at the same time, Xinji will be under too much pressure."

Zhuge muttered confusedly: "Thunder Cavalry lost one-third of its troops in this battle, which will greatly reduce its combat effectiveness in the short term and make matters worse~"

Chenyue's face became increasingly ugly, and after analyzing it, he found that the situation was extremely bad.

Even though all the Yan troops who entered were driven out by the Thunder Cavalry, the Yan troops would come back at any time, and their strength would increase several times by then.

The crisis in Liaodong!

Chu Yucheng struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Majesty, maybe we should consider sending troops back from the front line for reinforcements, or even..."

Zhuge glanced at Chen Yue in confusion and subconsciously. He knew what Chu Yucheng didn't say:

Perhaps the army should retreat with all its divisions, and the whole army should reinforce the war in Liangdi.

Chenyue's eyes kept flickering and he murmured:

"Send troops back to support?"

In fact, the Liang Army did not have the slightest advantage in strength on the entire Tongzhou front. It was only the strength of the Beiliang cavalry that prevented the Long Army from coming out to fight.

If more troops are transferred back to Liaodong to aid Liaodong, the troops for the campaign will be stretched thin, and the war on the Tongzhou frontline will become increasingly stalemate.

It is impossible to guarantee that the Long army of Qi could defeat the Liang army even if it mobilized its entire army to fight the Liang army in a decisive battle.

Zhuge Tutu reminded softly: "For a war of this scale, it would be useless to send back ten or twenty thousand soldiers and horses. At least tens of thousands of veterans would be enough."

Chenyue clenched his fists subconsciously, and the three of them had tangled expressions on their faces.

Chenyue thought for a long time and finally said:

"We can only mobilize some troops to reinforce Liaodong. We have already reached this point in the war and are only a few hundred miles away from the capital. How can we give up so easily?"

Chu Yucheng and Zhuge looked at each other confusedly and nodded in unison. The Liang army had fought hard for nearly two years and had killed countless of their comrades. No one was willing to give up at this juncture.

Chu Yucheng thought for a moment and said:

"Since we do not want the entire army to return, and we do not want to affect the military strength for the campaign too much, we will propose to dispatch young and strong soldiers from the four provinces of Jidong, Jixi, Shannan, and Hebei to rush to Liaodong for reinforcements.

Our Liang Army has always had some generals and schools training young soldiers in various places. Although they are mainly new recruits, they still have a certain combat effectiveness after training.

At the same time, we will send a small number of elites back together, and the new and old soldiers will be mixed together, so we should be able to fight against the Yan army."

"This method is feasible."

Zhuge muddleheadedly echoed, especially the two roads in the east and west of Hebei, which had been occupied by the Liang army for a year and a half. Most of the common people and soldiers had a sense of identity with the Liang army, and the trained soldiers could be put to use.

Chenyue held his chin with his right hand and said thoughtfully:

"In the Land of Four Roads, it should be no problem to mobilize 30,000 to 40,000 people. For the front line, let the Yungu Army go back together. With the Yungu Army here, we can rest assured. Wang Shouren is also leading the troops steadily.

But there is a question, who should be better in command of the war in the direction of Chifeng City?"

"Uh~"

This question confused the two of them. Xue Tian was in Wuguan coordinating the war in Beiliang. Although Xin Ji was currently in Chifeng City, he was still indispensable on the front line of Luoyun City in Liaodong.

Chifeng City needs a commander who can make decisions.

Chu Yucheng whispered softly:

"Since this is the land of Liaodong, it's best to find a Liaodong general to take charge."

Zhuge's confused eyes lit up and he said:

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu, what do you think of General Zuo?"

Zuoqiu, the Liaodong general, seemed to be the best candidate in Zhuge's mind.

Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were stunned for a moment, then nodded in unison.

Chenyue waved his hand: "Come here, ask Zuoqiu to come to the king's tent quickly!"
